[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Shifting his body weight from the left to the right in order to maneuver himself from one of the main streets that ran through the city into a intersection so that he could take the turn onto the next road in his left while keeping his motorcycle and body from allowing gravity to bring both down onto the pavement. He had only arrived twelve hours ago back in Japan after completing an assignment given to him directly from Satsujun. It had been a rather difficult assignment which was the norm when Satsujun personally wanted something handled. He still had some paper work to finish regarding the assignment which was why he was currently in his way to HQ. He would finish the paper work and report directly to Satsujun in order to give the usual detailed report.

It had been several years now since Asmoskon had began his career in Xcution. Since joining the organization success against the Vandenreich had increased astronomically thanks not only due to the resources available to him through the group, but from the experience and training that he had received through it. He was now far more powerful than he had been prior although there were many other factors that went into that growth than just the organization that he now held a high ranking position in as one of the Seven Guns. This new position was why he was out in the field once again handling targets. Only a year ago he was in charge of handling troop training, strategy meetings and war planning for nearly the entire organization with the exception of Satsujun himself.

As he turned onto the new street Asmoskon picked up something new. It was definitely the reiatsu of spiritual beings which wasn't surprising. HQ was flooded with spiritual aware yet the two that he felt at the moment weren't familiar. One was a Bount although it felt slightly off and darker. That could mean several different things one of which Asmoskon had dealt with in the past that he wasn't quite excited to handle again. The other felt like a Hollow. A Hollow more powerful than the average yet still a Hollow all the same. They were close to one another and close to HQ. If nothing else Asmoskon felt the need to investigate why they were here now so he began to make way through the streets towards where the Bount and Hollow were just about to converge.

[Vesta Zweig]

Vesta was having a fairly good day. She had just finished up early at Uzaki Enterprises and was heading out the door, ready to head back home. Ever since the last mission, she's heard this new voice in her head, which was a little concerning, but she just dismissed it as Death trying to play a trick on her with that weird voice. But, Death was quieter than usual, which was rather surprising. She mentally poked Death, but she just hissed at her while she kept to herself.

Shrugging her shoulders, she started off down the street but decided to actually explore more of the town. She had never really done that, so since she was done early, what better time to do so then now? So, turning around, she walked a bit deeper downtown, where there were more skyscrapers around. She glanced around at all the stores and saw a nice little restaurant that seemed to have some pretty good food. At that moment, her stomach growled, letting her know that she definitely needs to eat.

Zorn laughed, which felt like a rumble, at her stomach's timing while Death just harrumphed at it. The 'other' voice laughed slightly, but it sounded more like hissing than actual laughter. A snake? Wait....a snake laughing like it was hissing seemed too easy.... She thought on this more while walking into the restaurant and ordered her food. After waiting for about ten minutes, she thanks the cashier and grabs her food, walking outside to sit in the outdoor seating. She sat, facing the street and the city, then dug into her food.

Looking around, she saw another huge skyscraper that she had never really noticed before. It was rather intimidating to look at, but the first thing that Death said was, Wow, for a building that big, the owner must be compensating for something! Vesta snickered, holding her hand in front of her mouth to try and not spit out her drink. Death hadn't given out a joke like that in awhile, so it was a pretty nice change of pace. After she composed herself again, she started finishing her meal.

Once that was done, she stood up and stretched. Throwing her garbage away, she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye. Quickly turning around, she ran out towards the street, starting to look around to see if she saw the thing again. She started to lightly job in that direction and that's when she saw the thing. It was huge and no one around it was even reacting. Why the hell is a Hollow here now? Since it wasn't actively hurting anyone, she just followed it, making sure it wouldn't hurt anyone and grabbing her locket in case she needed him.

[Valentin Acciai]

The giant figure that Vesta saw was in truth no hollow, it was a moderately sized statue of Godzilla standing proudly on the streets which was something that could only be expected out of japan. But sure there was reason why she might have mistaken it for a hollow, it did have a hollow mask after all, a mask freshly torn off a hollow just hours ago and placed on the statue's head emanating residual spiritual energy as it dripped with hollow blood. Eventually if the newcomers stared any longer they'd probably figure it out but as they did that there was an Adjuchas not too far away idly observing them in a ridiculous yet terribly effective manner.

Valentin who reached only 6 feet at his tallest was a humanoid Adjuchas with slender limbs covered with protective white carapace plates and a long barbed tail so it wasn't unfeasible for him to make something of a disguise but this happened to be his first time attempting it and well, it was a work in progress to say the least. To be commended he wore a long darkish grey coat to hide away most of his body with his tail hidden beneath and a bowler hat of similar colouration as well as oversized gloves and boots to fit his claws, it looked dated to be sure but if someone just glanced him he could get away with it. Less inconspicuous however was that he wore one of those silly president rubber masks over his head, this being the face of Barack Obama and it just looked horrible! people were giving the Adjuchas stares but at least they wouldn't scream and panic over seeing a headless set of clothes reading a newspaper

To compensate for the horrible mask he had a newspaper strewn out to cover his face with little cutouts for the hollow to peek through so that he could do as he had intended the entire day. It had been another of his genius pranks, stage a fake hollow in the middle of an inhabited area, spook spiritually aware humans with it and observe their reactions and if they would be so hasty as to break one of the city's statues by accident and then immediately feel bad about it. So far no luck but with the recent arrivals his eyes focused on them through the holes of the paper, would someone finally take the bait and give him a good laugh? he really hoped they did, Valentin had put so much effort into his disguise and everything!

But just as he waited ever so intensely BOOOOM! a loud and thundering explosion overwhelmed his eardrums and caused him to visibly jump in his seat on the bench as he turned around to see the massive building blasted by unnatural flames ''Another raid from the Espada, again?'' he asked himself quietly as people began screaming in shock, speaking of terrorists and hurrying away in fear of a second strike somewhere closer to them. Prank ruined, great! GREAT! JUST FUCKING WONDERFUL!!! needless to say Valentin was not happy with this outcome, standing up and throwing the newspaper to the ground in an irritated manner he spoke to the spiritually aware lady some distance away while still wearing his odd disguise ''Is this the cunty Espada again? it is isn't it? why can't those shinigami boot-licking, superiority complex having, puppy kicking bastards just stay in Las Noches and rot away!!!''

[Zou ۞]

The wait is over.

Xcution headquarters exploded into flames. Vesta, Valentin, Asmokon. They were outside to witness. They did not have long before they would see other disturbances. There were many Hollows that liked to hide in the town but now they were surfacing and fleeing like rats. Hordes were stampeding away from the burning Xcution building. It did not matter. Something fast blew past them and all at once they were killed. They had been carved in half, each and every one of them.

What now stood near Vesta, Valentin, and Asmokon was a gigantic man. If he could be called a man. He was at least fifteen feet tall and was naked and extremely fat. Bald, he had glowering red eyes and held a massive club proportional to his great size. His arms were thick with muscle. The club was covered in large metal spikes. The newcomer's footsteps were heavy as he approached the three of them. Neither Vesta nor Valentin would have had the possibility of knowing whom he was, but Asmokon was of rank to have that intel if he was a good study.

A good study would recognize this man as a former arms dealer in the human world. He had been deceased for many years. He was called the Big Bad Bitchin' Belcher, and he was known for strength, speed, brutality, and combat cunning. He was responsible for killing more than one Shinigami Captain back in the day and was not the sort of enemy someone wanted to run into. It didn't seem like he was an immediate enemy though. He barely seemed concerned about them. "Hey..." he asked. "Do any of you know where I can find the Vandenreich?"

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Coming upon what he had sensed Asmoskon stopped his bike and stood seeing off in the distance about one hundred yards what looked like a young girl speaking with a Hollow. From what little reiatsu he could sense he could tell that the girl was in fact a Bount. What they were talking about he had no clue yet he could tell by the facial expression even from this distance on the girl's face that they weren't likely allies. As he began to make his way over towards the both of them suddenly Xcution headquarters erupted in flames. Turning to gaze upon the facility Asmoskon knew that this meant trouble obviously. What he was going to have to face now alone he didn't know for sure yet he knew he had to he could get away as long as he wasn't killed by something faster than his fastest technique.

Hollows rushing from all over the place caught Asmoskon's attention for a moment. It was as if he had used Hollow bait in the area. He hadn't seen this many near him in awhile since many knew that coming near him was a death sentence. It didn't matter though because they died anyway just not by him. Sighing in an exhausted manner Asmoskon looked down at the ground tired as he saw who had just broken out. "Bletch what the hell do you think you're doing? Attacking Xcution isn't your MO. Why're you here?" Asmoskon asked as Bletch was just about to reach them and then asked his own question. "I could bring you to them, but it depends on what you want with them Bletch." Asmoskon wasn't messing around he knew of Bletch's power and although he was perhaps mid tier Captain level he wouldn't be enough to kill more than two or three Stern Ritters yet that would benefit Asmoskon plenty if he could make it happen.
